Helen and Mary are good friends. Their children all like watching television. They are talking about the effect(影响) of television on children.

A：What do you think of the effect of television on children? Do you think it hurts the kids?

B：Well, I don’t think it hurts the kids, and I don’t think it’s a problem. The kids can learn a lot from television.

A：You really think so? I can’t believe it. Don’t you think it passes on to children the bad values of a society which is corrupt(丑陋的)?

B：Oh, Helen , why do you think so? Actually, television has done more good than harm to the kids.

A：I’m afraid I don’t agree with you. You know, the kids are addicted to（沉迷于） television, they even forget sleep, do homework and so on.

B：Well, there are other programs that are very interesting. Children can learn much knowledge from it. And it can extend children’s knowledge, give children more dream.
